Shooting at the 2016 Summer Paralympics consisted of twelve events, eight for rifle and 4 for pistol, across a range of men's, women's and mixed events.
Paralympic shooters were also classified according to the extent of their disability. The classification system allows shooters to compete against others with a similar level of function.
Shooting classifications are:
- SH1 - competitors who do not need a shooting stand
- SH2 - competitors who use a shooting stand to support the firearm's weight
